Marina Medina Design

Marina is a very talented designer and great to work with. She is all about customer experience, and ensures that clients are left satisfied. I would highly recommend Marina for your design needs.

I would not hesitate to recommend Marina as your designer! After our first meeting ,we felt very confident in having her design our kitchen. She listened to all our ideas and her design was exactly what we wanted for our dream kitchen. She is a very lovely ,ambitious and trustworthy person! She enjoys what she does as a profession. You can’t go wrong with hiring her as your designer. Thanks again,Marina!

Five star all around! She will be designing our future second property! Marina is an excellent listener yet has a way of maintaining the design integrity, while incorporating client's views. Marina always maintains design principles, and although our house is small, the finished design is spacious and has good flow. She knows where to splurge and where to economize design elements. Marina is one of the most organized individuals I've ever met and never misses a beat. Our contractor said that she is the most organized designer he has ever worked with in his career. Her communication skills are top notch, and she is very responsive, helping stickhandle problems as they arise. Most of our interactions were online, although we had two site visits during the process. Working virtually was seamless. When we had a significant issue with one of the suppliers, Marina was quick to step in and effortlessly get us out of the contract, allowing us to move forward with a new supplier. She managed to bring charm, and a modern touch to a 90 year old house without loosing its character. The design cost was very fair and Marina stayed within the scope and budget. What a lovely person and great designer with a promising future ahead of her. We look forward to working with her again.

We could not be more thrilled with our outstanding design experience with Marina Medina Design. My husband and I hired Marina to design our custom home, and we were completely blown away with the exceptional service and care we received at each step of the process. From dreaming up the design of our home to selecting the final finishing touches, Marina was extremely knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and incredibly skilled. She was our trusted right-hand woman throughout the entire process, and we quickly learned that we were working with a true expert. She is the perfect blend of professional, caring, accessible, and artistically brilliant with impressive attention to each and every detail. We were in exceptional hands from start to finish, and we are absolutely in love with our dream home- thanks to Marina. We will forever be grateful to her and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Marina created a design and materials selection that both blended with our existing home and elevated the space with a modern flair. The materials are beautiful and practical and within our desired budget. Marina was responsive and helpful during the full design and construction stages and enabled the project to go smoothly even when changes were required. I highly recommend Marina for your next project.

Marina was referred to me by a renowned Ottawa Custom home builder (Sanchez Homes Inc.). I had been affected by the tornado and there were so many repairs to be done to my house that was originally build in 2011. Not only there was water damaged but there were crack in the floors and my house was outdated and it did not reflect my taste and who I was. I had never worked with a designer before. It was a process, but Marina was the perfect designer to lead me through the process. Marina was attentive to my needs, to my fears and to my taste. Never did she impose any of her choices to me. She created a concept document that reflected my tastes after weekly design discussions. She was also a great intermediary between myself, the client, and the general contractor; I really felt that I was in good hands from start to finish with her. My project was extensive, and I fell so in good hands with Marina that I renovated all 3 floors of my house (4 bathrooms, kitchen, flooring, family room, study, etc.). She ensured that the design flowed from one floor to the next. The end results was EXACTLY what I was expecting. She is a great communicator, and she has strong work ethics. I highly recommend you Marina, you will not regret it!

I've hired Marina to choose the exterior cladding on my new house. I've been struggling to find the right materials and colors. I finally decided to hire an expert. I've sent Marina pictures of the styles that I liked and pictures of the house being built. She came back quickly with some ideas. Shortly after hiring her the cladding was chosen. Thank you for all the help.

Working with Marina on my kitchen renovation was a breeze.Her work was professional and timely, which is evident in the outcome of the project. Through the process, Marina was flexible. She worked with me through multiple design changes and was always quick and thorough in preparing alternatives. The final design and materials package we settled on was meticulous and easily referenced during renovations, and I never had any need to go back for corrections. She was able to adjust the material selections with precision in order to meet my budget, which was much more modest than the final result would have you believe..I would highly recommend working with Marina if you want a keen designer with great taste, accuracy, and the ability to solve problems on-the-fly.
